My Evil Genius Wife

That same evening at the Gu Villa, everyone gathered in the living room, anxiously awaiting Lin Ran's return. The room exuded a somber and dim ambiance.

Outside the house, the sky mirrored the gloomy atmosphere indoors, with dark clouds rolling in as dinner time approached. Yet, Lin Ran was still nowhere to be seen.

Grandfather Gu clenched his teeth, growing increasingly frustrated from the endless wait. He turned to Gu Zhang, his voice dripping with irritation and anger, and coldly inquired, "Where is she? Is she planning on coming home tonight?"

Gu Zhang pursed his lips, helplessly shaking his head. "I tried calling her, but her phone is switched off," he replied.

After offering his father a helpless response, Gu Zhang turned to Xingren and asked, "Do you have any idea when your mother will return? Did she mention anything about her plans before she left this morning?"

Xingren hesitated, biting her lip and shaking her head. "She did mention earlier that Xu Nuan invited her for lunch at the Jade Hotel. However, I haven't heard from her since then."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhang's expression darkened, and he clenched his fists tightly. "This woman! She never learns her lesson," he seethed, consumed by anger at the mere thought of what she had done.

In the afternoon, he was at the office when he received the documents from Xu Nuan, unveiling the truth.

It had been quite a while since Xu Nuan had called him, but this time it wasn't for a casual conversation. Instead, she reached out to personally expose the dark misdeeds of his wife. Though he appreciated the call, he found himself speechless and utterly astonished upon learning about Lin Ran's actions against Jia Fei and her conspiracies.

"Master, Madam has returned." As everyone anxiously watched the time, a servant came running in from outside, announcing Lin Ran's arrival.

Immediately, the expressions of everyone turned dark and tense. Grandfather Gu glanced at his son and sternly remarked, "I hope this time you won't disappoint me by taking your wife's side."

"Since Xu Nuan has given you some consideration by revealing the truth to you instead of exposing it on the internet, I expect you to treat her fairly and deal firmly with your wife," he advised Gu Zhang, his voice cold and carrying a hidden warning.

If Gu Zhang failed to handle Lin Ran appropriately this time, the old man would not sit idly by and allow her to continue meddling in Xu Nuan's happily married life, especially during her crucial pregnancy period when she needed ample rest. The old man might be advanced in age, but he was not too old to take matters into his own hands.

"Yes, Father. I will talk to her," Gu Zhang nodded in agreement.

As they conversed, Lin Ran's car pulled up in front of the main gate of the Gu Villa, and they could see her stepping out and approaching them.

Lin Ran's face turned pale as she noticed everyone gathered in the living room, and her heart began to race. After her encounter with Xu Nuan, she had been at the Yu Mansion, shedding tears and worrying about how she would face Gu Zhang's reaction upon learning the truth.

She felt a deep sense of fear.

Instead of finding solace at the Yu Mansion, Lin Ran faced a scolding from Yuhan's mother, who blamed her for causing trouble and criticized her for not entrusting the task to someone else, highlighting the significant flaw in their plan.

Now, upon returning home, she could sense the somber expressions on everyone's faces even before reaching the living room. Letting out a heavy sigh, she realized her mother-in-law was also absent, having left for a vacation with her friends. Feeling helpless, Lin Ran wondered who would come to her rescue now.

Who will save her now?
